The world’s largest renewable energy park built by the Adani Group in Gujarat.
The world’s largest renewable energy park has been built in the Khavda region of Gujarat by multi-billionaire Gautam Adani’s group in a remote area bordering Pakistan.
It has a huge capacity of 45 GW to generate electricity mainly from solar energy.
The construction of the project was started in 2022, marking the beginning of a comprehensive infrastructure development initiative.
Initially, the land was barren, with little vegetation due to its highly saline soil and no human settlements nearby.
However, boasting the second-best solar radiation in the country after Ladakh and wind speeds five times that of the plains, it presented an ideal location for a renewable energy park.
Just 18 kilometers from the airstrip is the Khavda Renewable Energy Park, which is spread over 538 square kilometers, almost five times the size of Paris.
Approximately Rs 1.5 lakh crore will be invested by India’s largest renewable energy company, Adani Green Energy Limited, to generate 30 MW of clean power in Khavda, Kutch, Gujarat.
At its peak, Khavda will produce 81 billion units which can power entire countries like Belgium, Chile, and Switzerland.
The 30 GW planned in Khavda will include 26 GW of solar and 4 GW of wind capacity.
AGEL’s current operating portfolio comprises 7,393 MW of solar, 1,401 MW of wind, and 2,140 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
